The PC version of the software will then display the main SPI Startup Screen. Note that the connection
icon
in the upper left corner will have a green background indicating that the SPI unit is connected
and the IP address was automatically set through the Ethernet port. The auto-detect process does not
require the user to enter an IP address. Once the software detects and connects to a unit, the connection
icon background will turn green and the SPI Startup Screen will appear (as shown in Figure 8).
Figure 8 - SPI Startup Screen
The SPI Startup screen provides access to the Manual test screen by pressing the Manual test
button
, or the Circuit Breaker Curve Library button
. The Circuit Breaker Curve Library screen
provides automated timing tests of circuit breakers and overload devices using either Generic or
Manufacturer Specific time curves. The software has ANSI and IEC standard time curve algorithms built-
in for molded case breakers. In addition, it includes time curves and time curve algorithms for different
specific molded case and air frame circuit breakers selectable by Manufacturer, Breaker Type, Curve
Family, Curve Model, Curve Trip Unit and Curve Name as applicable.
If this is the first time you have started up the SPI software it is recommended that you go to the
Configuration Screen first to setup the hardware, maximum durations, test currents, pulse times, and the
timer configuration.
